Once upon a time...

There was a girl, young, blonde hair, blue eyes

She didn't know where she went wrong or where she went right

Why did Daddy never come home to meet her?

There's a picture Mommy printed out when she was little

Daddy and his dog

Where is Daddy?

Does he love this dog more than he loves me?

Once upon a time…

The guy Mommy met is always coming in and out

He used to be nice, bringing over puzzles and coloring books

Now he just gets mad and yells

Mommy has a new baby in her stomach

But he doesn’t like that 

Once upon a time…

Mommy divorced the mean man

I only see Brother every other week

Its quiet, so still in here

No more yelling, it's an uncomfortable norm.

Once upon a time…

Mom tells me we are moving to a place called Oklahoma

It's so far away

I have to leave my friends, family, brother, everyone... behind

We are moving for a man I have only met once

At least when I met him he was nice

Once upon a time…

The man lied, he lost his nice personality

I don’t see Mom much anymore 

The Mom I once knew was left in Wisconsin

I feel alone, trapped, forgotten

No friends, no Brother, no Mom, no Everyone

Just me

Who do I tell about the mean kids at school?

Once upon a time… 

Continuous bullying is breaking me down

Yet someone threatened to beat me up

They told me where I lived

Finally, Mom cares again

Once upon a time…

Mom turned back to not caring

I told her I hate the lying man

He mentally abuses me

Mom says he doesn't mean the words he speaks

I just want to go home

Once upon a time…

Mom broke up with the lying man

Grandpa is here to take us 

Home has never felt so good
